Frequently Asked Questions
What is an infrared sauna?
An infrared sauna uses gentle infrared light waves to warm your body directly instead of heating the surrounding air. This deep heat promotes circulation, helps relieve stress, and supports natural detoxification, making it a favorite wellness treatment in Alexandria, VA.
How does an infrared sauna differ from a traditional sauna?
Traditional saunas heat the air to warm you, while infrared saunas use invisible infrared waves that penetrate tissues more deeply. The result is a more comfortable heat that promotes muscle recovery, improved circulation, and better skin health without feeling overwhelming.
What do I wear in the infrared sauna?
We will provide you with a towel to wrap around your body while in the sauna.
What are the main health benefits?
Infrared therapy can help reduce inflammation, ease chronic pain, support immune system health, and boost energy. It also promotes detoxification, helps manage blood pressure, and encourages better sleep and mood.
Can infrared saunas help with muscle recovery or joint pain?
Yes. The infrared heat improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles and joints, helping them heal faster after exercise or strain. Many athletes use sauna treatments to recover from sports injuries or daily body tension.
Will an infrared sauna help with weight loss?
Regular sauna use can support weight loss goals by burning calories and increasing metabolism. As your body warms, it works harder to maintain temperature — a natural and safe way to burn fat and improve energy output.
Is infrared sauna good for the skin?
Yes. Increased circulation brings more nutrients to the skin, improving tone and texture. Sweating helps clear toxins, giving you a natural glow and helping slow the aging process. Many guests notice smoother, more radiant skin with regular use.
Can infrared saunas improve mood or relieve stress?
Absolutely. The heat promotes the release of endorphins that improve mood, calm the nervous system, and relieve stress. A sauna session also helps relax the body, reduce fatigue, and improve emotional wellness.
How often should I use the infrared sauna?
Most people benefit from two to three sauna sessions per week. Regular use enhances long-term results, supporting circulation, detoxification, and muscle recovery while helping you maintain overall health and balance.
Is infrared sauna safe for everyone?
The infrared sauna is safe for most people, but anyone with heart conditions, severe high blood pressure, or medical concerns should consult a physician before use. Our team ensures each room is private, comfortable, and designed for safe infrared treatments.
Can I combine floating and sauna use?
Yes, combining float therapy with an infrared sauna session can enhance relaxation and recovery. The sauna warms the muscles and improves circulation before you float, helping you achieve a deeper, more relaxing experience.
